Have you ever seen a video of Wallace and Gromet?
It’s a British cartoon that is made with stop motion animation. Here’s an excerpt from a movie:
The creator of Wallace and Gromit, Nick Park, meticulously moves each clay piece one fraction at a time, and then takes a picture of the action. In order to make a clip it requires a picture to be made every 1/24th of a second. In other words there are 24 different frames shot per second to create a show. So you could only imagine how long it’d take to create a 30 minute show.
When asked about how he undertakes a project with such an enormous amount of work, his response was; ‘one 24th of a second at a time.’ He only views what the next 24th of a second is. If he looked at the entire picture, I’m sure it’d be incredibly overwhelming. Instead he picks one small goal and shoots for that, then continues with another small goal until the task is complete.
Are you viewing your fitness with small goals, or are you trying to look at the whole picture and getting overwhelmed?
It’s critical that you view the small things and celebrate those victories. Maybe you should take life 1/24th of a second at a time.
